I have been getting kids clothes cheap (and by cheap I really mean FREE) for a few months now thanks to an amazing referral program that I’d like to share with you so that you can get some kids clothes cheap, too!
Ok, so I’ve been using Schoola.com to find my major bargains. Schoola is a website I reviewed a while back (you can see my first haul video as part of the post). They sell gently used clothing that people donate, and 40% of every sale goes back to the school that the donor indicates. So while it’s not a great site for sellers who would benefit more from cash or from a tax deduction, it’s a GREAT place for shoppers, and of course, a great place for schools, too!
The other thing I love about Schoola, and the reason for this blog post, is that, at least for now, they have a very generous referral policy. If you refer someone to Schoola, when they make their first purchase, YOU as the person who referred them get $15 in credit. The new person benefits by getting $15 in credit and free shipping for their first purchase.
So you see, this is a MAJOR win/win. You introduce someone to a great used clothing site and they get $15 and free shipping (so they could definitely get kids clothes cheap!) and you get credit for your next purchase.
Schoola also often runs great specials (free shipping no minimum seems to be fairly frequent, and they recently did a HUGE 50% off sale!). So I spend my credits any time they are running a special so that I can maximize those credits. I have placed at least 4 orders now, all with anywhere from 1-13 items in them, and I have spent $0 of my own money…it was all credit from referrals!
So now that I have introduced you to this gem of a find and helped you out, please help me keep my growing kids attired by going through my referral link. Once you are signed up and have spent your free $15 (woo hoo!) grab your own referral link and spread the word far and wide. Your friends will thank you, and you’ll earn more credit for more free or at least cheap clothes! 🙂
And just to show that I’m fully transparent, here’s my latest haul video, which includes a few of my complaints about the Schoola experience, and some tips for how to maximize your chances for success when shopping on the site. They have some improving to do, but as long as they are giving away credit to newbies and running great sales, I’ll continue to try them and just offer my feedback!
i had the same problem with a shirt marked good that the sleeve was coming unsewn. i emailed them and they sent me a $10 credit on my next purchase. don’t be afraid to call them out on the quality they’ll try to remedy it.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear that you had a piece that wasn’t in great shape. This is definitely an area where they need to make improvements, though I think they are working on it!
I do see the 15 credit in the checkout after signing up with your link, however it’s not free shipping. Can I wait now until they have a special? (In other words, now that I created an account through your link, will I still get the credit if I don’t buy something yet?) thanks!
I think you do, but I’m not 100% sure. I would reach out to their customer service and ask that question (and also ask if you will get free shipping on your first purchase! Maybe it just shows up later in the checkout process?).
I signed up with your referral link, but can’t find anything saying I’ve received $15 credit or free shipping? I did receive an email with a 25% off coupon code, however.
It wll show up during checkout on your first purchase. And you can use the 25% off coupon on your first order, too! Talk about some seriously cheap stuff, right? 🙂
